Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to a semiconductor device and a method of manufacturing the same, and more particularly, to a semiconductor device and a method of manufacturing the improved reliability.
Semiconductor devices consist of a combination of passive and active devices that implement logic circuits and information storage areas. A typical active element, a transistor performs various functions such as a switch, distribution of current and voltage, and output of a signal in a semiconductor device.
Transistors are required to be formed according to design rules and to exhibit their performance. Such a transistor is formed by repeatedly performing processes such as deposition, etching, and cleaning several times.
However, due to process variables and structural modifications that may occur during the manufacturing of the transistor, the transistor may be formed differently from the design rule. For example, unintentional etching may occur in various oxide films including spacers formed on sidewalls of the gate electrode by an etching process or a cleaning process performed before and after the deposition process. As described above, the undesired etching of various oxide films is performed by an etching process or a cleaning process, so that the final profile of the semiconductor device may be different from the design rule. For example, when the spacers on both sidewalls of the gate electrode are formed to be lower than the height of the upper surface of the gate electrode, the silicide layer formed on the gate electrode may be thicker as the sidewalls are adjacent to both sidewalls of the gate electrode. In addition, the device isolation region may be lower in height than the active region by an etching process or a cleaning process. As such, when an unintended etching occurs in the oxide film formed at various positions, it may affect the profile of another structure adjacent to the oxide film, and the reliability of the semiconductor device may be degraded.
An object of the present invention is to provide a semiconductor device with improved reliability.

Accordingly, the silicide layer on the gate electrode may be formed to have a uniform thickness, and the step difference between the active region and the device isolation region may be minimized.
